I had a thought in Russian class today...
In context: we're learning rooms of houses and furniture and whatnot (so for homework we designed and labelled our dream houses), and I thought it would be great to help me learn if there was a Russian version of the Sims computer game...is there? Or if there isn't, can you think of any other computer games that might help?
Thanks in advance :D
